The correct answer is A) Brundtland Report.
The definition of sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” was famously articulated in “Our Common Future,” the 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), chaired by Gro Harlem Brundtland. This report is widely referred to as the Brundtland Report.
